Author: PHILLIPS, JACOB
The virtue of obedience is seen as outdated today, if not downright toxic – and yet, are we any freer than our forebears?
In this provocative work, Jacob Phillips argues not. Many feel unable to speak freely, their opinions policed by the implicit or explicit threat of coercion. Impending ecological disaster is the ultimate threat to our freedoms and wellbeing, and living in a disenchanted cosmos leaves people enslaved to nihilistic whim.
Phillips shows that the antiquated notion of obedience to the moral law contains forgotten dimensions, which can be a source of freedom from these contemporary fetters. These dimensions of obedience – such as loyalty, discipline and order – protect people from falling prey to the subtle forms of coercion, control and domination of twenty-first-century life.
Key Features of the Book:
- Literary insight fused with philosophical discussion
- Cultural critique exploring the modern challenges of freedom
- A fresh perspective on obedience as a path to true freedom
Phillips demonstrates that in obedience lies the path to true freedom.
